Looking Ahead to 2021

Heading in to December - as I scribble this down - with Christmas next week and maybe a few weeks off, it's impossible to believe that this year might actually be over soon.

I remember it as a slow start, with plenty of work promised but, as is often the case, the dates were impossible to pin down.

And now, 12 months and a pandemic later, pretty much everybody is as busy as they have been in years. The email is buzzing off the hook at Crew Wellington and I've even dragged my own mortal remains into the work boots a few times in the last month and headed on to set. Something I only do when there is no one else on the books to do the work. I've enjoyed it too, even if the back was telling me at the end of the day that it's about time I either took up yoga or laid off the pies.

Heading in to 2021, we know there is a tsunami of work coming, with the FC fielding queries from all over the shop, from productions looking to set up in Godzone for at least the first half of the year. It's never been more important than it is now, to make sure we have enough young crew in training to take on the work.

No, the current situation won't last forever, but I don't think our 'normal' will ever fall back to what it was.

All best, and let's all have a brilliant '21,
